A tug of war between filament treadmilling and myosin induced contractility generates actin rings

A tug of war between filament treadmilling and myosin induced contractility generates actin rings

In most eukaryotic cells, actin filaments assemble into a shell-like actin cortex under the plasma membrane, controlling cellular morphology, mechanics, and signaling. The actin cortex is highly polymorphic, adopting diverse forms such as the ring-like structures found in podosomes, axonal rings, an...
